The first step to getting your hands on otaku goodies is to be able to find them, but that is easier said than done – especially considering the language barrier presented by Japanese shopping sites. When using a Japanese site, or a proxy shopping and bidding service like FROM JAPAN<\/a>, it goes without saying that searching in Japanese will yield the most results. It may seem like a daunting task to start searching in Japanese when you cannot read or write the language, but there are a few tips and tricks that make the process incredibly simple!<\/p>\n

In this article, we\u2019ll guide you through how to easily search in Japanese on FROM JAPAN in order to get the most from your otaku shopping!<\/p>\n

Finding Japanese Title Names on Wikipedia<\/h2>\n

Let\u2019s say you want to get your hands on some Demon Slayer goodies and you search for the series in English like the picture below:<\/p>\n

\"FROM<\/p>\n

The English search term gives us just over 300 results. You may think that\u2019s not too shabby, but let\u2019s compare that to a search using Demon Slayer\u2019s Japanese title:<\/p>\n

\"FROM<\/p>\n

Just by using the Japanese title instead of the English one, we\u2019ve managed to increase the search results from around 300 to over 31,000! Think of all the awesome Demon Slayer goodies you missed out on by searching just in English\u2026 but how do you find the Japanese title if you can\u2019t read Japanese?<\/p>\n

One of the easiest ways to find and the Japanese title for anime, manga, and gaming titles is to check the Wikipedia page for that particular series.<\/p>\n

\"Demon<\/p>\n

Written right next to the bolded text is \u9b3c\u6ec5\u306e\u5203<\/strong>, the Japanese title for Demon Slayer. In the rare cases where the Japanese title is not written in the opening paragraph, you can switch the article\u2019s language to Japanese (\u65e5\u672c\u8a9e<\/strong>) if the option is there.<\/p>\n

With this simple Wikipedia trick, you can find the Japanese titles of all your favorite anime and gaming series, which will make your otaku shopping much easier!<\/p>\n
